Thanks! What I was missing was deleting the selection. I knew it
had to be something simple ;)

I'm just learning how to do this myself, using the tutorial at the end of
Chapter 3 in Akkana Peck's excellent book "Beginning GIMP" ISBN 1590595874.
I'm using The Gimp 2.2 in Debian 4.0r3 Etch.

Make the background of the image transparent:
   Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel
   Tools > Selection Tools > By Color Select
   Click on background color.
   Ctrl-X to delete the background color.
   File > Save

For the image you pointed to (roll.gif), I highlighted Frame 9
(in the Layers window)
which had a white background, The Add Alpha Channel was
already gray, so I did the By Color Select, then clicked on
the white Background and pressed Ctrl-X, then saved the
GIF image. (Save as Animation!)

Do this for each frame that has a white background.
I tested it by creating a simple HTML page with a black background
that displayed the modified animated GIF image. You may have to
click on several places in the background to get isolated spots
of white.








I think I've covered all the details?

No, they're all white. I need to make them transparent.

[Gimp-user] Background to transparent

2008-07-05 Thread Rick Ellis
I've been trying to do something really simple and
just not quite getting it. I have a small animated gif
(http://dating.blameitonlove.com/mods/smileys/images/roll.gif)
and I want to turn the white background transparent. Is
there an obvious way to do this that I'm missing?
